Hello,
CentOS release 4.5 (Final), with CPanel here. Using a nessus scan with
ssh credentials, I am getting the following as a critical error:
According to its banner, the version of OpenSSH installed on the
remote host contains a race condition that may allow an
unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the service or, on portable
OpenSSH, possibly execute code on the affected host. In addition,
another flaw exists that may allow an attacker to determine the
validity of usernames on some platforms.
However, from the linked CVE, and the linked Redhat Errata
(RHSA-2006:0698-8) it appears that this is a corrected issue with a
backported patch. I am not sure that the version I have is NOT
vulnerable, or that I am reading this documentation correctly.
Here is some additional info that may be relevant:
Installed Packages
openssh.i386 3.9p1-8.RHEL4.20
installed
# ssh -v
OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003
Thanks!
Jeff
